Charlie bit my finger

This makes my uterus itchy. Of course my kids will need to be that cute and have British accents.

I love it when kids do things like that. Every once in a while one of mine will come up to me all teary and say something like "I was running full speed down the hallway and I slammed into the door and I'm bleeding...wah." and I'm all "Yeah, how about that." Maybe I'd be more sympathetic if they had cute British accents.

By the way, I notice that you've got The Lost Language of Cranes over there in your "enjoying" thingy. I read that book in college and became temporarily obsessed with David Leavitt. I still have my copy -- it's one of those giant 80s trade paperbacks. I remember reading a book of short stories by him afterward and thinking he had some major Daddy Issues.

Yeah, how about that.

That's a page out of my younger sister's book of parenting. Love it.

And I'm a bit obsessed with David Leavitt NOW. After I finish The Omnivore's Dilemma, I'm gonna start his book about Alan Turing, father of modern computing/queer genius.

That made me snort, Jason.

And good point.

Can I have whichever one you don't love as much?
